Chandler Kinney "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" came in as a write in candidate to win this years Best Youth Actress Award. Kinney finished 3rd in the opening round as a write in candidate, and followed that up in the semi-finals with a 2nd place showing to show she was no fluke.

Kinney narrowly won by 6 votes over 2013 winner and last years runner up Maisie Williams "Game Of Thrones" who I will fully admit, I was so sure would win I had already written up a write up a post for her as she was leading by 11 votes with a day & a half left & seemed to be pulling away. In 3rd was another "Gortimer Gibbons" actress Ashley Boettchergiving this childrens show two of the top 3 finalists here. Sasha Pieterse "Pretty Little Liars" was down 1 spot from last years 3rd place finish to nab 4th.

The Semi-Final rounds for Best Youth Actor, Actress and New Program categories took place a couple weeks ago.

Here are the complete results (BOLD nominees have qualified for the Finals)

The Best Youth Actor Host category will see the two winners of this award in the finals again, but neither seems to be a serious favorite this time around. Last years winner Isaac Hempstead-Wright from "Game Of Thrones" is back, along with the 2013 winner Robbie Kay for his work on "Heroes Reborn", previously he won with his work on "Once Upon A Time". But its regular finalsts Jared Gilmore "Once Upon A Time" and Chandler Riggs "The Walking Dead", along with David Mazouz "Gothqam" who led the semi-final voting & look like they will give serious competition for the title this year.

The Best Youth Actress Category looks like it might again go to the 2013 winner Maisie Williams from "Game Of Thrones:". After losing the 2014 title to now over 20 actress Bex Taylor-Klaus, the inagural winner looks to have a serious run at a 2nd title set up. While some competition was put in for the semi-finals from unexpected contender Chandler Kinney from "Gortimer Gibbons Life On Normal Street" and Camren Bicondova from "Gotham", Williams seems like the safe bet in this category again.

The Best New Program Category seems poised to crown a female led hero show this year. Jessica Jones, Supergirl and Agent carter were the top 3 vote getters in the semi-finals. While Quantico & Daredevil were also close to the leaders. Fear The Walking Dead makes the finals, hoping to follow in its origin shows footsteps and win the New Program award. Two comedies Galavant & Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt eek into the finals, making them the first comedies to make the finals since 2011 Breaking In did so.

The Final round of the 2015 Best Of TV Awards will be under way with some categories soon. Each voting round will last 3 to 6 days.
